old man in town
Work related (5)
Now, the agreement between the two of them was moved out again, this trip, Li Xiaomo is only allowed to bring a good mood and his own salute, not a penny is allowed.Li Xiaomo has nothing to do with Uncle Zhan, he can only agree.
On the car to the airport, Uncle Zhan was very interested in the SLR camera that Li Xiaomo hung around his neck.Li Xiaomo took out this big guy, adjusted the focus to Uncle Zhan who was sitting next to him, and clicked the shutter.Freeze the first photo of Uncle Zhan on this journey. In the photo, Uncle Zhan has a nervous expression, slightly wrinkled brows, and a row of white teeth, which is very funny and cute.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he was at home and had already spent time to arrange all the itineraries and book the hotel.His plan is to stop in Beijing for four days, sweep the famous scenic spots in Beijing one by one, and then go to nearby Tianjin for two days.Uncle Zhan praised Li Xiaomo for his carefulness and thoughtfulness.
Li Xiaomo led Uncle Zhan through the security check, waited for the plane, and boarded the plane. Suddenly, Uncle Zhan followed Li Xiaomo like a docile child, listening carefully to Li Xiaomo's instructions and explanations. This feeling of being needed made Li Xiaomo feel very fulfilled.When two people are together, it seems that there is always something to say, and the long wait is fleeting between the fingers.
To Li Xiaomo's regret, Uncle Zhan was originally seated by the window, but the youngest daughter of a passenger seated next to the aisle clamored to see the clouds outside the window, so Uncle Zhan graciously changed the seat with the passenger.The plane started, accelerated, and took off. The strong tremor and recoil made Uncle Zhan very nervous, and he grabbed Li Xiaomo's hand tightly.
"Uncle, it's okay. It's on the ascent stage now. After a while of steady battery life, there will be almost no bumps."
Uncle Zhan's tense expression relaxed slightly, but he still held onto Li Xiaomo tightly, conveying warm trust.
Uncle Zhan couldn't see the scenery outside the window, so Li Xiaomo used words to describe to him the various magnificent scenery he had seen on the plane before.Uncle Zhan's hand seemed to be held by Li Xiaomo, and the two of them flew out of the cabin.His eyes seemed to be able to see the clouds outside the window that were as white as cotton candy. They were warm and soft when they were quiet, and then they were lifted by the convective air and erupted like a volcanic eruption.The sun shines through the thick cloud wall, refracting colorful psychedelic colors.From time to time, I can get a glimpse of the landscape on the ground, the city becomes a chessboard, the figures disappear, and the cars that move like ants.The creeks originate between the mountains, meet in the valleys, continue to grow, and finally converge on the plains to become large rivers, heading for the ocean mightily.Uncle Zhan was fascinated by what he heard, and turned his head from time to time to look out the window.The sunlight coming in from the window shone on Uncle Zhan's face.Uncle Zhan's hair is black, his face is handsome, and the hairs on his bronze skin can be seen clearly under the sunlight. This highly textured profile, like an oil painting, makes Li Xiaomo mesmerized.A desire rose in Li Xiaomo's heart, he wanted to turn around and hug Uncle Zhan, lie down on the cloud, sleep, wake up with joy in his heart, ride the wind together, and fly in the sky forever.
☆, 20. I love you because you are number one in the world
Li Xiaomo chose the hotel near Andingmen in order to fulfill a small wish of his own.In high school, Li Xiaomo especially liked a text, "I and the Temple of Earth" written by Mr. Shi Tiesheng.When writing this article, my husband has been in a wheelchair for 15 years, exhausted physically and mentally.Life is like a coir raincoat, which becomes heavier and damper under the heavy rain of suffering and frustration.Faced with this sad life, Mr. did not end his own life like Kawabata Yasunari, Maupassant, Haizi and other writers.Instead, in the altar of the earth, a place that communicates with the earth, wandering and thinking, absorbing the power to continue to exist from the earth, from the mother, and from the green pines and cypresses around.In the end, the firmness of Mr.'s thoughts covered the pain of the body, and in the fertile soil of the text, an amazing flower of life grew.At the time when I was studying this text, Li Xiaomo's dislike of home had gathered to the breaking point.However, the calmness, persistence, tolerance, and friendship conveyed in the article deeply infected Li Xiaomo. In the end, he bought the entire collection of essays and read them many times.After Li Xiaomo struggled painfully, he gradually had the courage to endure the suffering in front of him, and tried his best to make up for it, so that the people around him could become happy because of his existence.
When I went to Beijing Ditan for the first time, it was the peak tourist season. During the day, the Ditan Park was like a pot of boiling water, filled with crowds of people. After a visit, the only income was the crowds. sweat.It is really like an ancient book describing the large number of people in Linzi, the capital city: Linzi is three hundred Lu, and the sleeves of the sleeves are covered with shade, and sweat is poured into rain.In ancient times, a large number of people was a symbol of prosperity, but in modern times, most social problems are also caused by a large number of people.Li Xiaomo wanted to find peace amidst the turmoil, but in the end he returned disappointed.He wanted to go again this time, because he was shocked to hear that Mr. Shi Tiesheng had passed away, and this trip could be regarded as a memorial service.Thanks to this spiritual godfather who once gave me strength.Presumably it is not a tourist holiday now, so if we go at night today, there should not be so many people.
Dingling, Dingling, a series of piercing alarm clocks awakened Li Xiaomo from his contemplation, what is this sound?Li Xiaomo rummaged through himself to no avail, turned around and found that it was Uncle Zhan's phone ringing.Uncle Zhan replied in Hokkien, probably meaning that he had arrived in Beijing safely.The taxi left the Capital International Airport and was slowly crawling through the crowded streets of Beijing.
"There are so many people in Beijing." Uncle Zhan had already hung up the phone, tilting his head and staring out of the window curiously.
"Yes, the capital is rich in resources. Many foreigners want to live here, and the house price has become more than 5."
"This is higher than the house price on Xiamen Island, Xiao Mo, do you want to live in Beijing?"
"I don't want to. Even though I think the quality of Beijingers is very high, I still want to live in the south."
"Hey, don't live too far away from Uncle in the future, or I won't be able to see you."
"Okay, uncle, how about I just buy a house in your town?"
"Warmly welcome, haha, I will live next to my house and build a villa by the river."
"I don't want a villa. I just want to build a house like yours. It's so cozy to live in."
"Yes."
"Uncle, how did you choose your ringtone? It's the sound of the alarm clock. It's called the killer of dreams. It makes my liver tremble and I get goosebumps all over my body."
"Oh, you guy, you often sleep late when you see it, and you are afraid of hearing the alarm sound. But uncle also thinks it is quite unpleasant, but this ringtone phone is like this when I bought it, and I don't know how to change it myself. How about you change it for uncle? "
Of course Li Xiaomo couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly asked: "Okay, Uncle, what song do you like, can I set up a Hokkien song for you?"
"You can also set Hokkien songs, that's great, help uncle get it."
"Uncle, do you like that Hokkien song?"
"Let's think about it. There is a song. I don't know the name or who sang it, but it's very nice. I can only sing the middle lines. The short time of my son, I was forced to spend my youth, and seeking fame and fortune is nothing. Buy a good life, a glass of wine and two cents of silver come here every now and then, if you want to talk about feelings, I am the number one in the world."
Uncle Zhan sang a few words in a thick voice, and Li Xiaomo called out the title of the song: "This is the best song in the world, sung by Wu Bai, uncle, this is a song I like very much, and Your singing is so nice, I still want to hear it."
"You know this song, that's great, help Uncle set it up. You know Uncle Kua, Uncle can only sing a few military songs, and only a few in Hokkien."
"No, the premise I set up for you is that you have to go to KTV to sing with me in a few days, and I want to listen to you."
"You slick, oh, okay, let's talk about it when the time comes, help uncle set it up."
Like a victorious general, Li Xiaomo took the spoils from the captive Uncle Zhan, and skillfully manipulated them.Li Xiaomo's mobile phone is on a 3G network. He didn't want to waste Uncle Zhan's data, so he downloaded the song on his mobile phone first, and then edited it with software to capture the best part, which is the part that Uncle Zhan sang just now. Finally, use Bluetooth to transfer to Uncle Zhan’s mobile phone, and the setting is successful.Uncle Zhan took the phone and asked Li Xiaomo to try calling it. When he heard his favorite song coming out of the phone, he kept playing it repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
Li Xiaomo also looked at Uncle Zhan with a smile. There was one more thing that Li Xiaomo didn't tell him.He quietly customized a ring bell for Uncle Zhan.This CRBT is specially corresponding to Li Xiaomo's phone number, that is to say, only when Li Xiaomo calls Uncle Zhan can he hear this song.So when Uncle Zhan heard "No. [-] in the World" from his phone, Li Xiaomo could hear Faye Wong's ethereal voice from his phone microphone:
我 从来 不 曾 抗拒 的 魅力
Although you never had a crush on me
I always look at you with a smile
我 的 情意 总是 轻易 就 眼 底
我 曾经 想 过 在 寂寞 夜 里
你 终于 在意 在 我 房间 里
你 闭上 眼睛 了 我
不 说 一 句 紧紧 抱 在 的 的
i love you
i love you to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Let yourself fantasize about me and you
you love me
you love me to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Believe that I can really love you deeply
我 曾经 想 过 在 寂寞 夜 里
你 终于 在意 在 我 房间 里
你 闭上 眼睛 了 我
Hold me tight in your arms without saying a word
i love you
i love you to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Let yourself fantasize about me and you
you love me
you love me to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Believe that I can really love you deeply
深深 去 爱 你
深深 去 爱 你
☆, 21. One night in Beijing, walk into the altar of the earth
Arriving at the hotel, Li Xiaomo booked a standard room, which was neat and clean, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the window was brightly lit and traffic-like Beijing. The night was like brewed strong coffee, and it tasted just right.
Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan ate two baskets of soup dumplings at a bun shop next to the hotel.Li Xiaomo said that this is Andingmen, and across the road is Ditan Park, he asked Uncle Zhan if he wanted to go for a walk with him.Li Xiaomo has already paid attention, if Uncle Zhan is tired and wants to go back to rest, he will go to Ditan Park by himself.But Uncle Zhan wanted to go with him, Li Xiaomo was very happy.
It was already 08:30 in the evening. There were few people in the park. The city lights illuminated the sky, and the sky reflected the light. You can see the green pines and cypresses, the shadows of the trees, swaying with the summer evening wind. quiet.In the past, Uncle Zhan was the tour guide in the small town, but now in Beijing's Ditan Park, it's Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that at the end of the straight and spacious avenue in front of him is the Fangze Altar, also known as the Earth Altar.As soon as Uncle Zhan heard that it was the place where the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the "God of the Emperor", he became more interested and his pace obviously accelerated.The three ancient cypresses outside the Fangze altar are quite distinctive. It is said that they are called "general cypresses". The three trees have their own merits. The general is named because he has been wounded many times and only one branch remains.Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan entered Fangze Altar, and the neat white marble pillars around the platform looked solemn and solemn.It is said that the Temple of Earth was conceived and designed according to the traditions and symbolic legends of ancient my country, such as the round sky, the blue sky and the yellow earth, the south and the north, the dragon and the phoenix, and the universe.Standing in the center of the Temple of Heaven, looking up at the sky, Uncle Zhan complained: "The sky in Beijing is not beautiful at all, you can't see the stars." Li Xiaomo also echoed, how can the sky here compare with that in a small town.However, the Temple of Earth is a holy place after all. In the crowded and noisy modern city at night, it reflects a kind of openness and simplicity, allowing the heart to start a dialogue with the ancients and present who have left countless footprints here.Li Xiaomo has gradually been able to appreciate the world that Mr. Shi Tiesheng can see in Ditan Park.Nothing in this world is perfect, just like this once glorious and sacred altar, now it is eroded by the lights and noise of the city, and it looks so lonely.But whether it is incomplete or not, existence means the most real state, no matter it is destroyed or a trace of Nirvana, it can always become a beautiful scenery in the eyes of passers-by through time.
Uncle Zhan stood next to Xiao Mo, accompanied by Li Xiaomo, who was in a daze with crooked hair, quietly without saying a word.Li Xiaomo turned his head and found that Uncle Zhan was looking at him with a smile.Maybe sometimes, Uncle Zhan may not be able to understand Li Xiaomo, because he is so complicated.Uncle Zhan may not understand Li Xiaomo's incomplete body, but he is always willing to accompany Li Xiaomo.Playing with him in the small town, calling him at home, and now staying by his side again.Although Uncle Zhan didn't say a word, as long as Li Xiaomo turned his head, he could always see his warm smile, which was enough for Li Xiaomo.Existence is not only for yourself, but also for the people who accompany you.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we will close at nine o'clock, thank you for your cooperation." The administrator shouted at the door.
Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan, left Fang Zetan, and walked towards the exit.
"Uncle, how did you meet my aunt?" Li Xiaomo was curious.
"The two of us are not romantic like you people in the city, and we are still in love. We met each other on a blind date. To be honest, I didn't like your aunt at the time, but after I finished my service and opened a duck restaurant, I am already old. I don’t have a choice. I got married after a month of dating. After getting married, I found that your aunt is very nice, and the relationship gradually became better. She gave birth to me and gave me a home. I am very grateful she."
"Uncle, I really envy you for being so affectionate."
"Hehe, it's not always like this. In recent years, I have often felt very depressed. I always feel that the common language between us is getting less and less, and we often don't know what to say when we are together."
"Why, I think you care about each other very much."
"I don't know, I'm sure I care about it, but some things are weird and I can't explain them. Maybe you will understand when you get married in the future."
"Uncle, didn't I say that I would not get married?"
"You kid, you're talking stupid again."
Uncle Zhan put his thick arm around Li Xiaomo's neck, and the two walked back to the hotel talking and laughing.
☆, 22. The two heroes of the Great Wall meet foreign friends
The next day, Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan signed up for a one-day tour group, the destination of which was the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.Li Xiaomo has a lot of travel experience, and he prefers to sign up for tour groups when he visits cultural relics and historic sites.This is because the cultural relics and historic sites contain a lot of cultural knowledge, which are separated by mountains, and it is difficult to understand the way by yourself. However, if you invite a tour guide to explain the mysteries in one word, and take a trip, not only the eyes are beautiful, but also the brain is full.In this regard, Li Xiaomo has learned a painful lesson.During a winter vacation in high school, Li Xiaomo went to Xi'an with his classmates.One day, they bought tickets to go to Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum by themselves.Li Xiaomo and his companions thought they had studied books for more than ten years and read a lot of classical Chinese, so they must be familiar with those inscriptions.However, when they entered the museum, they were dumbfounded before they finished viewing an exhibition hall.They couldn't understand many of them, and they couldn't even recognize some famous monuments that had been used as classical Chinese literature.Several people were shocked, and some people suggested to leave early.Li Xiaomo was reluctant to part with the hard-won travel opportunity, so he paid for a tour guide.This tour guide is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable.Several people listened to the explanation and asked questions, and the lady tour guide also answered all questions.A group of people spent most of the day in the not-so-big museum.After returning from a trip to Xi'an, Li Xiaomo immediately felt a poetic spirit in his belly, and he pretended to be a "cultural person" among his classmates for a long time.Of course, for natural scenic spots, Li Xiaomo has always advocated self-help travel.
Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he is not a hero if he does not go to the Great Wall. Today, when he arrived at the Great Wall at Badaling, the two of them are heroes. He suggested that Uncle Zhan quickly put on a majestic pose. He wanted to take a picture of Uncle Zhan.As soon as Uncle Zhan heard that he could call it a hero class, he cooperated, standing on the steps, leaning on the wall, smiling shyly and waiting for Li Xiaomo to take pictures.Li Xiaomo picked up the DSLR, adjusted the focus, and suddenly found a yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in the camera, patted Uncle Zhan on the shoulder, and greeted Uncle Zhan happily.Uncle Zhan was taken aback. Seeing foreigners happily speaking in a language he could not understand, Uncle Zhan looked embarrassed and bewildered.Li Xiaomo quickly put away the camera, and ran over to ask what happened.
Li Xiaomo's English scores are not bad, and he was sent to England by Li Chenfu for a one-month summer camp during the summer vacation of his third year of high school, so his daily oral communication is basically no problem.After inquiring, I found out that this foreigner actually knew Uncle Zhan.
The foreigner is Jason, from the United States, and now lives in Singapore.He has been traveling in China for a month, and his travel route started from Hong Kong, China, along the east coast.When he was in Fujian, he went to a small town to look at earthen buildings. What's more, he even bought salted duck at Uncle Zhan's duck shop.Speaking of Uncle Zhan's salted duck, Jason smiled and gave a thumbs up.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan the general situation, and Uncle Zhan tried his best to recall, and he really found out in his memory, the experience of foreigners going to a small shop to buy salted water duck.Li Xiaomo wondered how Jason knew about Uncle Zhan's shop, and Jason told Li Xiaomo that it was recommended by the tour guide.Uncle Zhan was very happy to hear that his salted water duck was so famous that even foreign friends praised it.He couldn't speak English, so he asked Li Xiaomo to tell Jason that he was welcome to play in the town again.
After bidding farewell to Jason, Li Xiaomo felt that Uncle Zhan was so amazing that he could be recognized by foreign tourists in far away Beijing.In the afternoon, I came to the Summer Palace and I was in a good mood. Although the weather was very hot, the two of us had a great time.Especially when rowing in Kunming Lake, Uncle Zhan actually sang "No. [-] in the World" to Li Xiaomo in Hokkien.Uncle Zhan is really smart. In just one day, he learned the song from the ringtone of his mobile phone.Even though it was crooning, Uncle Zhan's magnetic voice made Li Xiaomo feel like a shower of rain.
☆, 23. In the roast duck restaurant, talk about entrepreneurial dreams
In the evening, Li Xiaomo brought Uncle Zhan to eat the famous Quanjude Roast Duck in Beijing.The carefully sliced roast duck was served, and Li Xiaomo picked up a piece of browned, tender and crispy duck meat with chopsticks, dipped it in sweet noodle sauce, put it on the dough gently, added a few chopped green onions, then wrapped the dough neatly, and handed it to the Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan wanted to catch it with his own hands, but Li Xiaomo was afraid that if he changed hands, his face would loosen, so he asked Uncle Zhan to open his mouth and feed him directly.Zhan Shule let out a series of humming sounds.Li Xiaomo was afraid that he would choke, so he quickly handed him some tea.
"Xiao Mo, this Peking duck really lives up to its reputation. It is cooked carefully and tastes good."
"Yes, Quanjude has opened many branches now."
"In this catering industry, delicious food is king. With customers, it is natural to open branches."
"Uncle, actually I think the salted water duck you cook is also very delicious."
"Uncle's salted water duck is something I figured out by myself, how can it compare with such a big old shop?" Uncle Zhan shook his head like a rattle when he heard what Li Xiaomo said.
"Uncle, really, the salted water duck you cook has a special flavor. You can see that the foreign friends the Great Wall met just now like it very much."
"Haha." Uncle Zhan was still very happy when he remembered what happened on the Great Wall just now.
"Uncle, you never thought about expanding your business and opening a branch."
"Xiao Mo, it's not that uncle didn't have such an idea, but look at it, it's only a small store, and there are only so many customers. To be honest, I'm already too busy, let alone open another branch." Uncle Zhan said Out of my own worries.
"Uncle, you can operate in an industrialized manner. To put it simply, it is to hire people, and then manage them yourself. Start with the increase in production. Your core craft is the selection of duck meat, as well as the ingredients, cooking time, and heat. Grasp. You can standardize all these. Selection of duck meat, cooking time, fire control, you hire people and then teach them, and finally you only need to supervise. Do it yourself and don’t hand it over to others. Next, you will also hire people to sell duck meat. The cost of hiring people is actually very small, and it’s nothing compared to the increased profits. This will free you and your aunt , you are responsible for supervision, management, developing customers, opening new stores, and expanding business." The more Li Xiaomo said, the brighter his eyes became.
Uncle Zhan clapped his hands together and praised: "Xiao Mo, you really deserve to be the son of a businessman. You are so flexible. I really agree with the way you said to expand production. This way I can relax a lot and ensure the quality of the duck meat." Quality. But I am still worried about expanding the new store. There is really no need to open a new store in such a small town. If I open the new store to Xiamen, I have to travel so far to manage it. Will others come in the end? Buying my ducks is also a big problem."
Li Xiaomo thought for a while, then said: "Uncle, let's take it step by step. You first expand your production according to the method I said. You see that your duck meat is often sold out by tourists very early, and many people still can't buy it. So You don’t have to worry about sales if you expand production. Then you hire someone to free you and your aunt, and take a break. As for opening a branch, I have an idea. I’m not a student of e-commerce, so I can help you open an online store , I will be in charge of the publicity. I will tell you when there is an order. You just need to hire someone to take care of the delivery. Just like you sent me duck last time, I found that the salted duck itself is easy to preserve, and the vacuum The bag can be stored for a long time, and transportation is not a problem. Opening an online store allows me to apply what I have learned professionally to practice, and secondly, it also expands our influence, tests the market, and lays the foundation for opening branches in the future. Uncle, Do you think this plan works?"
Uncle Zhan stared at Li Xiaomo, listened very carefully, and quickly said, "Of course, but will this delay your study?"
Li Xiaomo waved his hand and continued to explain: "Uncle, I've already said that I'm putting my studies into practice. Besides, it won't take too much time to open an online store. I'll do a good job in the early stage of the online store in the future. After the operation goes smoothly , I will teach you how to use it, it’s very simple, then you can be an online boss and make your business bigger in a small town.”
"Haha, okay, Uncle is so stupid, can he learn?" Uncle Zhan scratched his head, a little unconfident.
"Of course it's okay, Uncle, you don't care who taught it. You also know that the garment industry in Jinjiang, Quanzhou is well developed, and now almost all the people run online stores, and some online store owners are grandpas. Uncle, you don't know You want me to treat you as my grandfather's grandfather?"
"Haha, Xiao Mo, when you say that, Uncle has confidence, we can try it. But you have to promise Uncle that I will give you a commission in the future. You are so kind to Uncle, Uncle really doesn't know how to repay you. "
"Uncle, I'll talk about these words later, the task now is to eat duck meat quickly, ha ha" Li Xiaomo continued to help Uncle Zhan make roast duck, he knew Uncle Zhan's temper, so he couldn't refuse directly, he could only delay
☆, 24. Listening to cross talk in Jinmen, laughing until my stomach hurts
In the next three days, Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan to visit the Forbidden City, Beijing, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Water Cube and other famous scenic spots.Together, the two ate fried liver with soy milk and fried dough sticks in the old alleys of the capital, and went shopping in Wangfujing and Sanlitun.Uncle Zhan bought his aunt a gold necklace, and at the same time forced Li Xiaomo to choose a platinum ring under the constant "threats" of soft and hard.Reciprocity, Li Xiaomo used this as an excuse to give Uncle Zhan a watch.In fact, Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan are not the kind of people who value material things. They just want to leave something related to each other on each other. Every time they see this token, they will think of a person. The meaning of this kind of concern is more than The value of the gift itself is much greater.People in southern Hokkien are very religious. Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan to Lama Temple to offer incense.Although he didn't believe this, he still burned three sticks of incense, just like the wish he made in the mountain temple on the small town of Heishan, hoping that the man beside him would be safe forever, and praying for his parents to enjoy their own stable lives.Li Xiaomo watched as Uncle Zhan closed his eyes tightly and muttered something, with a pious expression on his face.Li Xiaomo asked him what he wished, but Uncle Zhan smiled and didn't tell Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo made a request to Uncle Zhan: If Uncle Zhan's wish comes true, he must come here to fulfill his wish again, and he will be with him when the time comes.Uncle Zhan agreed.
The two left Beijing reluctantly. Uncle Zhan said that he had never taken the subway before, so Li Xiaomo took him to Beijing South Railway Station.While waiting for the subway, a bank card of Uncle Zhan accidentally slipped out of his bag.The two of them walked a long way, and when they heard someone shouting from behind, they turned their heads. A girl ran after her and returned the card to Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan and Li Xiaomo thanked each other repeatedly until the girl disappeared into the crowd. "The quality of Beijingers is really high." Uncle Zhan praised him sincerely.This also increased their nostalgia for Beijing.
At the South Railway Station, I took the intercity light rail from Beijing to Tianjin.Along the way, the poplar trees on both sides of the light rail are shaded, and the broad leaves are rolling and shining with silver light under the sun and wind.Looking up into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful North China Plain.Uncle Zhan, who was born as a farmer, was very envious of the vast expanse of flatness, hidden in the sky, and the fields are arranged like a chessboard. Large machines are working efficiently in the fields.This scene of beautiful scenery continues to retreat rapidly.
Tianjin is a city that does not have as many tourism resources as Beijing.They stayed in Tianjin for two days and visited the Italian Style Street, the Ancient Culture Street, the scenic spots on both sides of the Haihe River, and the foreign goods market in Tanggu.I tasted the famous Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, [-]th Street Mahua, Eryan Fried Cake, Bengdou Zhang and other special snacks. The overall feeling is not as amazing as in Beijing.But the world is unpredictable, and the happiest memory of this trip was finally left in a quaint small cross talk theater in Tianjin.
Uncle Zhan once recalled his life in the army. Every art performance, the climax was always created by two comrades from the north.The specialty of these two people is cross talk.The two didn't know each other before, but after joining the army, they can be regarded as confidants across the world. Because of their common hobby-cross talk, they finally became best friends.The two of them are on stage, talking, learning and singing are not professional, but the jokes are all local materials, from the daily life of soldiers, very down-to-earth, especially able to make everyone happy.At the beginning, Uncle Zhan didn't understand very well, but after listening to it more times, he gradually fell in love with this kind of northern folk art culture that is popular all over the country.At that time, the pastime of life was very scarce, such rare laughter also painted a bright color on Uncle Zhan's oppressive army life.In order to fulfill Uncle Zhan's wish, Li Xiaomo prepared to book the tickets for Beijing Deyun Club when he was at home, but Guo Degang was too hot, so he couldn't get in the line in the end.
This time when he came to Tianjin, Li Xiaomo still didn't want to give up, so he settled for the next best thing and bought two tickets for the famous crosstalk teahouse in Tianjin.This crosstalk theater is located in Tianjin's famous commercial street, but the price is very affordable.At the beginning, Li Xiaomo didn't have too much expectation, because the first person who said "Allegro" came up and shot a series of shots like a machine gun. Li Xiaomo didn't understand. Looking back at Uncle Zhan beside him, Uncle Zhan also looked at him. The face is blank.However, when the cross talk actors came on stage, the chemistry started to build.Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan were gradually surrounded by a joyful atmosphere under the influence of cross talk actors talking, learning, amusing, and singing.Looking back later, Li Xiaomo also felt puzzled, those jokes that come out of the mouths of cross talk actors, that is, what they call baggage, after careful reflection, he didn't think it was so clever.But in that specific environment, after a vivid performance, the appeal is greatly increased.The frequency of joy gradually increased.The shock of this kind of laughter is many times faster than watching TV. The cross talk in the small theater is down-to-earth and really charming.Li Xiaomo also discovered that there is a difference between cross talk in small theaters and cross talk on TV, that is, there are a lot of nasty jokes.These nasty jokes are not vulgar.Every time the dirty jokes sounded, Uncle Zhan would smile and look back at Li Xiaomo.Uncle Zhan was slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't match the "evil" expression of Sanya's temptation, because he thought Li Xiaomo didn't understand.In fact, Li Xiaomo really didn't understand a lot, but just looking at Uncle Zhan's funny expression, his stomach twitched from laughing.I have to admire that Tianjin people really enjoy life.Two tickets, two cups of tea, two chairs, one table, one pack of melon seeds, one plate of preserved fruit, all in one afternoon, the infinite joy that many people can’t exchange for gold and silver.Uncle Zhan seems to have returned to his previous years in the army, full of vigor, exuding a happy atmosphere from the inside out.
☆、25. This night, I fell asleep on your shoulder
This is the last night of the trip, and the two of them will return to Xiamen by plane tomorrow.
Uncle Zhan snored melodiously, but Li Xiaomo was lying on the single bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.In the past few days, being with Uncle Zhan is really very happy.This kind of happiness does not only come from the richness and splendor of travel itself, but also from the satisfaction of giving.As a man, Uncle Zhan's mental state is getting younger and younger under the continuous watering of the novel world.He follows Li Xiaomo's rhythm every day, eating, drinking, playing and having fun, there is no generation gap between the two of them.Li Xiaomo tried his best to enrich Uncle Zhan's rare long-distance trip, and the daily itinerary was fully arranged.During the play, the novel topics that the two could not finish talking about also became the blossoming embellishment of the journey.When they came back at night and took a shower, they would lie on the bed, and before they could say a few words, they would both fall asleep.But tonight, no matter how hard Li Xiaomo tried, he couldn't fall asleep.The more anxious, the more irritable.
Is it nostalgia for the good life these days?Along the way, he brought happiness to Uncle Zhan, and Uncle Zhan warmed him up.During the journey, what you should be most grateful for is not the beautiful scenery, but the person who accompanies you to enjoy the beautiful scenery.Uncle Zhan is humorous, tolerant, open-minded, energetic, and exudes a strong masculine breath all the time.What Li Xiaomo saw the most along the way was not the beautiful scenery, but the man beside him.In Li Xiaomo's impression, he became interested in men, especially middle-aged men, after entering university.But this feeling is very ignorant, so-called liking, or even what kind of person he likes, Li Xiaomo doesn't have a clear outline in his mind.This kind of liking is just like a breeze, whenever Li Xiaomo sees mature and temperamental middle-aged men in TV movies, on the street, or on the bus, it will gently blow through Li Xiaomo's heart.Li Xiaomo has no desire to possess, but in his dreams at night, he will gently let himself close, and gently touch those resolute faces with his hands.This kind of feeling buried in the heart, even if it was just a fantasy, brought Li Xiaomo a wonderful experience.He never denied it, because these fantasies did not hurt anyone.If a certain feeling of a person originates from your truest heart, you will think it is right, and sometimes you think it should be right in the eyes of others.
The appearance of Uncle Zhan is like the answer to an anagram game. All the answers are filled in the corresponding positions word by word, and the picture begins to be clear, although the result is unknown.Uncle Zhan has a magical attraction that attracts Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo is in this magnetic field, and gradually produces a kind of centripetal force, that is, he naturally wants to get closer, get closer, and get closer.Not only to see, but also to feel, feel his heartbeat, feel the temperature of his body, feel his emotions.At this moment, Li Xiaomo turned sideways and rested on his arm.Taking advantage of the faint light that sneaks in through the window
On the car to the airport, Uncle Zhan was very interested in the SLR camera that Li Xiaomo hung around his neck.Li Xiaomo took out this big guy, adjusted the focus to Uncle Zhan who was sitting next to him, and clicked the shutter.Freeze the first photo of Uncle Zhan on this journey. In the photo, Uncle Zhan has a nervous expression, slightly wrinkled brows, and a row of white teeth, which is very funny and cute.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he was at home and had already spent time to arrange all the itineraries and book the hotel.His plan is to stop in Beijing for four days, sweep the famous scenic spots in Beijing one by one, and then go to nearby Tianjin for two days.Uncle Zhan praised Li Xiaomo for his carefulness and thoughtfulness.
Li Xiaomo led Uncle Zhan through the security check, waited for the plane, and boarded the plane. Suddenly, Uncle Zhan followed Li Xiaomo like a docile child, listening carefully to Li Xiaomo's instructions and explanations. This feeling of being needed made Li Xiaomo feel very fulfilled.When two people are together, it seems that there is always something to say, and the long wait is fleeting between the fingers.
To Li Xiaomo's regret, Uncle Zhan was originally seated by the window, but the youngest daughter of a passenger seated next to the aisle clamored to see the clouds outside the window, so Uncle Zhan graciously changed the seat with the passenger.The plane started, accelerated, and took off. The strong tremor and recoil made Uncle Zhan very nervous, and he grabbed Li Xiaomo's hand tightly.
"Uncle, it's okay. It's on the ascent stage now. After a while of steady battery life, there will be almost no bumps."
Uncle Zhan's tense expression relaxed slightly, but he still held onto Li Xiaomo tightly, conveying warm trust.
Uncle Zhan couldn't see the scenery outside the window, so Li Xiaomo used words to describe to him the various magnificent scenery he had seen on the plane before.Uncle Zhan's hand seemed to be held by Li Xiaomo, and the two of them flew out of the cabin.His eyes seemed to be able to see the clouds outside the window that were as white as cotton candy. They were warm and soft when they were quiet, and then they were lifted by the convective air and erupted like a volcanic eruption.The sun shines through the thick cloud wall, refracting colorful psychedelic colors.From time to time, I can get a glimpse of the landscape on the ground, the city becomes a chessboard, the figures disappear, and the cars that move like ants.The creeks originate between the mountains, meet in the valleys, continue to grow, and finally converge on the plains to become large rivers, heading for the ocean mightily.Uncle Zhan was fascinated by what he heard, and turned his head from time to time to look out the window.The sunlight coming in from the window shone on Uncle Zhan's face.Uncle Zhan's hair is black, his face is handsome, and the hairs on his bronze skin can be seen clearly under the sunlight. This highly textured profile, like an oil painting, makes Li Xiaomo mesmerized.A desire rose in Li Xiaomo's heart, he wanted to turn around and hug Uncle Zhan, lie down on the cloud, sleep, wake up with joy in his heart, ride the wind together, and fly in the sky forever.
☆, 20. I love you because you are number one in the world
Li Xiaomo chose the hotel near Andingmen in order to fulfill a small wish of his own.In high school, Li Xiaomo especially liked a text, "I and the Temple of Earth" written by Mr. Shi Tiesheng.When writing this article, my husband has been in a wheelchair for 15 years, exhausted physically and mentally.Life is like a coir raincoat, which becomes heavier and damper under the heavy rain of suffering and frustration.Faced with this sad life, Mr. did not end his own life like Kawabata Yasunari, Maupassant, Haizi and other writers.Instead, in the altar of the earth, a place that communicates with the earth, wandering and thinking, absorbing the power to continue to exist from the earth, from the mother, and from the green pines and cypresses around.In the end, the firmness of Mr.'s thoughts covered the pain of the body, and in the fertile soil of the text, an amazing flower of life grew.At the time when I was studying this text, Li Xiaomo's dislike of home had gathered to the breaking point.However, the calmness, persistence, tolerance, and friendship conveyed in the article deeply infected Li Xiaomo. In the end, he bought the entire collection of essays and read them many times.After Li Xiaomo struggled painfully, he gradually had the courage to endure the suffering in front of him, and tried his best to make up for it, so that the people around him could become happy because of his existence.
When I went to Beijing Ditan for the first time, it was the peak tourist season. During the day, the Ditan Park was like a pot of boiling water, filled with crowds of people. After a visit, the only income was the crowds. sweat.It is really like an ancient book describing the large number of people in Linzi, the capital city: Linzi is three hundred Lu, and the sleeves of the sleeves are covered with shade, and sweat is poured into rain.In ancient times, a large number of people was a symbol of prosperity, but in modern times, most social problems are also caused by a large number of people.Li Xiaomo wanted to find peace amidst the turmoil, but in the end he returned disappointed.He wanted to go again this time, because he was shocked to hear that Mr. Shi Tiesheng had passed away, and this trip could be regarded as a memorial service.Thanks to this spiritual godfather who once gave me strength.Presumably it is not a tourist holiday now, so if we go at night today, there should not be so many people.
Dingling, Dingling, a series of piercing alarm clocks awakened Li Xiaomo from his contemplation, what is this sound?Li Xiaomo rummaged through himself to no avail, turned around and found that it was Uncle Zhan's phone ringing.Uncle Zhan replied in Hokkien, probably meaning that he had arrived in Beijing safely.The taxi left the Capital International Airport and was slowly crawling through the crowded streets of Beijing.
"There are so many people in Beijing." Uncle Zhan had already hung up the phone, tilting his head and staring out of the window curiously.
"Yes, the capital is rich in resources. Many foreigners want to live here, and the house price has become more than 5."
"This is higher than the house price on Xiamen Island, Xiao Mo, do you want to live in Beijing?"
"I don't want to. Even though I think the quality of Beijingers is very high, I still want to live in the south."
"Hey, don't live too far away from Uncle in the future, or I won't be able to see you."
"Okay, uncle, how about I just buy a house in your town?"
"Warmly welcome, haha, I will live next to my house and build a villa by the river."
"I don't want a villa. I just want to build a house like yours. It's so cozy to live in."
"Yes."
"Uncle, how did you choose your ringtone? It's the sound of the alarm clock. It's called the killer of dreams. It makes my liver tremble and I get goosebumps all over my body."
"Oh, you guy, you often sleep late when you see it, and you are afraid of hearing the alarm sound. But uncle also thinks it is quite unpleasant, but this ringtone phone is like this when I bought it, and I don't know how to change it myself. How about you change it for uncle? "
Of course Li Xiaomo couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly asked: "Okay, Uncle, what song do you like, can I set up a Hokkien song for you?"
"You can also set Hokkien songs, that's great, help uncle get it."
"Uncle, do you like that Hokkien song?"
"Let's think about it. There is a song. I don't know the name or who sang it, but it's very nice. I can only sing the middle lines. The short time of my son, I was forced to spend my youth, and seeking fame and fortune is nothing. Buy a good life, a glass of wine and two cents of silver come here every now and then, if you want to talk about feelings, I am the number one in the world."
Uncle Zhan sang a few words in a thick voice, and Li Xiaomo called out the title of the song: "This is the best song in the world, sung by Wu Bai, uncle, this is a song I like very much, and Your singing is so nice, I still want to hear it."
"You know this song, that's great, help Uncle set it up. You know Uncle Kua, Uncle can only sing a few military songs, and only a few in Hokkien."
"No, the premise I set up for you is that you have to go to KTV to sing with me in a few days, and I want to listen to you."
"You slick, oh, okay, let's talk about it when the time comes, help uncle set it up."
Like a victorious general, Li Xiaomo took the spoils from the captive Uncle Zhan, and skillfully manipulated them.Li Xiaomo's mobile phone is on a 3G network. He didn't want to waste Uncle Zhan's data, so he downloaded the song on his mobile phone first, and then edited it with software to capture the best part, which is the part that Uncle Zhan sang just now. Finally, use Bluetooth to transfer to Uncle Zhan’s mobile phone, and the setting is successful.Uncle Zhan took the phone and asked Li Xiaomo to try calling it. When he heard his favorite song coming out of the phone, he kept playing it repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
Li Xiaomo also looked at Uncle Zhan with a smile. There was one more thing that Li Xiaomo didn't tell him.He quietly customized a ring bell for Uncle Zhan.This CRBT is specially corresponding to Li Xiaomo's phone number, that is to say, only when Li Xiaomo calls Uncle Zhan can he hear this song.So when Uncle Zhan heard "No. [-] in the World" from his phone, Li Xiaomo could hear Faye Wong's ethereal voice from his phone microphone:
我 从来 不 曾 抗拒 的 魅力
Although you never had a crush on me
I always look at you with a smile
我 的 情意 总是 轻易 就 眼 底
我 曾经 想 过 在 寂寞 夜 里
你 终于 在意 在 我 房间 里
你 闭上 眼睛 了 我
不 说 一 句 紧紧 抱 在 的 的
i love you
i love you to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Let yourself fantasize about me and you
you love me
you love me to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Believe that I can really love you deeply
我 曾经 想 过 在 寂寞 夜 里
你 终于 在意 在 我 房间 里
你 闭上 眼睛 了 我
Hold me tight in your arms without saying a word
i love you
i love you to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Let yourself fantasize about me and you
you love me
you love me to the end
For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve
Believe that I can really love you deeply
深深 去 爱 你
深深 去 爱 你
☆, 21. One night in Beijing, walk into the altar of the earth
Arriving at the hotel, Li Xiaomo booked a standard room, which was neat and clean, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the window was brightly lit and traffic-like Beijing. The night was like brewed strong coffee, and it tasted just right.
Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan ate two baskets of soup dumplings at a bun shop next to the hotel.Li Xiaomo said that this is Andingmen, and across the road is Ditan Park, he asked Uncle Zhan if he wanted to go for a walk with him.Li Xiaomo has already paid attention, if Uncle Zhan is tired and wants to go back to rest, he will go to Ditan Park by himself.But Uncle Zhan wanted to go with him, Li Xiaomo was very happy.
It was already 08:30 in the evening. There were few people in the park. The city lights illuminated the sky, and the sky reflected the light. You can see the green pines and cypresses, the shadows of the trees, swaying with the summer evening wind. quiet.In the past, Uncle Zhan was the tour guide in the small town, but now in Beijing's Ditan Park, it's Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that at the end of the straight and spacious avenue in front of him is the Fangze Altar, also known as the Earth Altar.As soon as Uncle Zhan heard that it was the place where the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the "God of the Emperor", he became more interested and his pace obviously accelerated.The three ancient cypresses outside the Fangze altar are quite distinctive. It is said that they are called "general cypresses". The three trees have their own merits. The general is named because he has been wounded many times and only one branch remains.Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan entered Fangze Altar, and the neat white marble pillars around the platform looked solemn and solemn.It is said that the Temple of Earth was conceived and designed according to the traditions and symbolic legends of ancient my country, such as the round sky, the blue sky and the yellow earth, the south and the north, the dragon and the phoenix, and the universe.Standing in the center of the Temple of Heaven, looking up at the sky, Uncle Zhan complained: "The sky in Beijing is not beautiful at all, you can't see the stars." Li Xiaomo also echoed, how can the sky here compare with that in a small town.However, the Temple of Earth is a holy place after all. In the crowded and noisy modern city at night, it reflects a kind of openness and simplicity, allowing the heart to start a dialogue with the ancients and present who have left countless footprints here.Li Xiaomo has gradually been able to appreciate the world that Mr. Shi Tiesheng can see in Ditan Park.Nothing in this world is perfect, just like this once glorious and sacred altar, now it is eroded by the lights and noise of the city, and it looks so lonely.But whether it is incomplete or not, existence means the most real state, no matter it is destroyed or a trace of Nirvana, it can always become a beautiful scenery in the eyes of passers-by through time.
Uncle Zhan stood next to Xiao Mo, accompanied by Li Xiaomo, who was in a daze with crooked hair, quietly without saying a word.Li Xiaomo turned his head and found that Uncle Zhan was looking at him with a smile.Maybe sometimes, Uncle Zhan may not be able to understand Li Xiaomo, because he is so complicated.Uncle Zhan may not understand Li Xiaomo's incomplete body, but he is always willing to accompany Li Xiaomo.Playing with him in the small town, calling him at home, and now staying by his side again.Although Uncle Zhan didn't say a word, as long as Li Xiaomo turned his head, he could always see his warm smile, which was enough for Li Xiaomo.Existence is not only for yourself, but also for the people who accompany you.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we will close at nine o'clock, thank you for your cooperation." The administrator shouted at the door.
Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan, left Fang Zetan, and walked towards the exit.
"Uncle, how did you meet my aunt?" Li Xiaomo was curious.
"The two of us are not romantic like you people in the city, and we are still in love. We met each other on a blind date. To be honest, I didn't like your aunt at the time, but after I finished my service and opened a duck restaurant, I am already old. I don’t have a choice. I got married after a month of dating. After getting married, I found that your aunt is very nice, and the relationship gradually became better. She gave birth to me and gave me a home. I am very grateful she."
"Uncle, I really envy you for being so affectionate."
"Hehe, it's not always like this. In recent years, I have often felt very depressed. I always feel that the common language between us is getting less and less, and we often don't know what to say when we are together."
"Why, I think you care about each other very much."
"I don't know, I'm sure I care about it, but some things are weird and I can't explain them. Maybe you will understand when you get married in the future."
"Uncle, didn't I say that I would not get married?"
"You kid, you're talking stupid again."
Uncle Zhan put his thick arm around Li Xiaomo's neck, and the two walked back to the hotel talking and laughing.
☆, 22. The two heroes of the Great Wall meet foreign friends
The next day, Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan signed up for a one-day tour group, the destination of which was the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.Li Xiaomo has a lot of travel experience, and he prefers to sign up for tour groups when he visits cultural relics and historic sites.This is because the cultural relics and historic sites contain a lot of cultural knowledge, which are separated by mountains, and it is difficult to understand the way by yourself. However, if you invite a tour guide to explain the mysteries in one word, and take a trip, not only the eyes are beautiful, but also the brain is full.In this regard, Li Xiaomo has learned a painful lesson.During a winter vacation in high school, Li Xiaomo went to Xi'an with his classmates.One day, they bought tickets to go to Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum by themselves.Li Xiaomo and his companions thought they had studied books for more than ten years and read a lot of classical Chinese, so they must be familiar with those inscriptions.However, when they entered the museum, they were dumbfounded before they finished viewing an exhibition hall.They couldn't understand many of them, and they couldn't even recognize some famous monuments that had been used as classical Chinese literature.Several people were shocked, and some people suggested to leave early.Li Xiaomo was reluctant to part with the hard-won travel opportunity, so he paid for a tour guide.This tour guide is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable.Several people listened to the explanation and asked questions, and the lady tour guide also answered all questions.A group of people spent most of the day in the not-so-big museum.After returning from a trip to Xi'an, Li Xiaomo immediately felt a poetic spirit in his belly, and he pretended to be a "cultural person" among his classmates for a long time.Of course, for natural scenic spots, Li Xiaomo has always advocated self-help travel.
Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he is not a hero if he does not go to the Great Wall. Today, when he arrived at the Great Wall at Badaling, the two of them are heroes. He suggested that Uncle Zhan quickly put on a majestic pose. He wanted to take a picture of Uncle Zhan.As soon as Uncle Zhan heard that he could call it a hero class, he cooperated, standing on the steps, leaning on the wall, smiling shyly and waiting for Li Xiaomo to take pictures.Li Xiaomo picked up the DSLR, adjusted the focus, and suddenly found a yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in the camera, patted Uncle Zhan on the shoulder, and greeted Uncle Zhan happily.Uncle Zhan was taken aback. Seeing foreigners happily speaking in a language he could not understand, Uncle Zhan looked embarrassed and bewildered.Li Xiaomo quickly put away the camera, and ran over to ask what happened.
Li Xiaomo's English scores are not bad, and he was sent to England by Li Chenfu for a one-month summer camp during the summer vacation of his third year of high school, so his daily oral communication is basically no problem.After inquiring, I found out that this foreigner actually knew Uncle Zhan.
The foreigner is Jason, from the United States, and now lives in Singapore.He has been traveling in China for a month, and his travel route started from Hong Kong, China, along the east coast.When he was in Fujian, he went to a small town to look at earthen buildings. What's more, he even bought salted duck at Uncle Zhan's duck shop.Speaking of Uncle Zhan's salted duck, Jason smiled and gave a thumbs up.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan the general situation, and Uncle Zhan tried his best to recall, and he really found out in his memory, the experience of foreigners going to a small shop to buy salted water duck.Li Xiaomo wondered how Jason knew about Uncle Zhan's shop, and Jason told Li Xiaomo that it was recommended by the tour guide.Uncle Zhan was very happy to hear that his salted water duck was so famous that even foreign friends praised it.He couldn't speak English, so he asked Li Xiaomo to tell Jason that he was welcome to play in the town again.
After bidding farewell to Jason, Li Xiaomo felt that Uncle Zhan was so amazing that he could be recognized by foreign tourists in far away Beijing.In the afternoon, I came to the Summer Palace and I was in a good mood. Although the weather was very hot, the two of us had a great time.Especially when rowing in Kunming Lake, Uncle Zhan actually sang "No. [-] in the World" to Li Xiaomo in Hokkien.Uncle Zhan is really smart. In just one day, he learned the song from the ringtone of his mobile phone.Even though it was crooning, Uncle Zhan's magnetic voice made Li Xiaomo feel like a shower of rain.
☆, 23. In the roast duck restaurant, talk about entrepreneurial dreams
In the evening, Li Xiaomo brought Uncle Zhan to eat the famous Quanjude Roast Duck in Beijing.The carefully sliced roast duck was served, and Li Xiaomo picked up a piece of browned, tender and crispy duck meat with chopsticks, dipped it in sweet noodle sauce, put it on the dough gently, added a few chopped green onions, then wrapped the dough neatly, and handed it to the Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan wanted to catch it with his own hands, but Li Xiaomo was afraid that if he changed hands, his face would loosen, so he asked Uncle Zhan to open his mouth and feed him directly.Zhan Shule let out a series of humming sounds.Li Xiaomo was afraid that he would choke, so he quickly handed him some tea.
"Xiao Mo, this Peking duck really lives up to its reputation. It is cooked carefully and tastes good."
"Yes, Quanjude has opened many branches now."
"In this catering industry, delicious food is king. With customers, it is natural to open branches."
"Uncle, actually I think the salted water duck you cook is also very delicious."
"Uncle's salted water duck is something I figured out by myself, how can it compare with such a big old shop?" Uncle Zhan shook his head like a rattle when he heard what Li Xiaomo said.
"Uncle, really, the salted water duck you cook has a special flavor. You can see that the foreign friends the Great Wall met just now like it very much."
"Haha." Uncle Zhan was still very happy when he remembered what happened on the Great Wall just now.
"Uncle, you never thought about expanding your business and opening a branch."
"Xiao Mo, it's not that uncle didn't have such an idea, but look at it, it's only a small store, and there are only so many customers. To be honest, I'm already too busy, let alone open another branch." Uncle Zhan said Out of my own worries.
"Uncle, you can operate in an industrialized manner. To put it simply, it is to hire people, and then manage them yourself. Start with the increase in production. Your core craft is the selection of duck meat, as well as the ingredients, cooking time, and heat. Grasp. You can standardize all these. Selection of duck meat, cooking time, fire control, you hire people and then teach them, and finally you only need to supervise. Do it yourself and don’t hand it over to others. Next, you will also hire people to sell duck meat. The cost of hiring people is actually very small, and it’s nothing compared to the increased profits. This will free you and your aunt , you are responsible for supervision, management, developing customers, opening new stores, and expanding business." The more Li Xiaomo said, the brighter his eyes became.
Uncle Zhan clapped his hands together and praised: "Xiao Mo, you really deserve to be the son of a businessman. You are so flexible. I really agree with the way you said to expand production. This way I can relax a lot and ensure the quality of the duck meat." Quality. But I am still worried about expanding the new store. There is really no need to open a new store in such a small town. If I open the new store to Xiamen, I have to travel so far to manage it. Will others come in the end? Buying my ducks is also a big problem."
Li Xiaomo thought for a while, then said: "Uncle, let's take it step by step. You first expand your production according to the method I said. You see that your duck meat is often sold out by tourists very early, and many people still can't buy it. So You don’t have to worry about sales if you expand production. Then you hire someone to free you and your aunt, and take a break. As for opening a branch, I have an idea. I’m not a student of e-commerce, so I can help you open an online store , I will be in charge of the publicity. I will tell you when there is an order. You just need to hire someone to take care of the delivery. Just like you sent me duck last time, I found that the salted duck itself is easy to preserve, and the vacuum The bag can be stored for a long time, and transportation is not a problem. Opening an online store allows me to apply what I have learned professionally to practice, and secondly, it also expands our influence, tests the market, and lays the foundation for opening branches in the future. Uncle, Do you think this plan works?"
Uncle Zhan stared at Li Xiaomo, listened very carefully, and quickly said, "Of course, but will this delay your study?"
Li Xiaomo waved his hand and continued to explain: "Uncle, I've already said that I'm putting my studies into practice. Besides, it won't take too much time to open an online store. I'll do a good job in the early stage of the online store in the future. After the operation goes smoothly , I will teach you how to use it, it’s very simple, then you can be an online boss and make your business bigger in a small town.”
"Haha, okay, Uncle is so stupid, can he learn?" Uncle Zhan scratched his head, a little unconfident.
"Of course it's okay, Uncle, you don't care who taught it. You also know that the garment industry in Jinjiang, Quanzhou is well developed, and now almost all the people run online stores, and some online store owners are grandpas. Uncle, you don't know You want me to treat you as my grandfather's grandfather?"
"Haha, Xiao Mo, when you say that, Uncle has confidence, we can try it. But you have to promise Uncle that I will give you a commission in the future. You are so kind to Uncle, Uncle really doesn't know how to repay you. "
"Uncle, I'll talk about these words later, the task now is to eat duck meat quickly, ha ha" Li Xiaomo continued to help Uncle Zhan make roast duck, he knew Uncle Zhan's temper, so he couldn't refuse directly, he could only delay
☆, 24. Listening to cross talk in Jinmen, laughing until my stomach hurts
In the next three days, Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan to visit the Forbidden City, Beijing, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Water Cube and other famous scenic spots.Together, the two ate fried liver with soy milk and fried dough sticks in the old alleys of the capital, and went shopping in Wangfujing and Sanlitun.Uncle Zhan bought his aunt a gold necklace, and at the same time forced Li Xiaomo to choose a platinum ring under the constant "threats" of soft and hard.Reciprocity, Li Xiaomo used this as an excuse to give Uncle Zhan a watch.In fact, Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan are not the kind of people who value material things. They just want to leave something related to each other on each other. Every time they see this token, they will think of a person. The meaning of this kind of concern is more than The value of the gift itself is much greater.People in southern Hokkien are very religious. Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan to Lama Temple to offer incense.Although he didn't believe this, he still burned three sticks of incense, just like the wish he made in the mountain temple on the small town of Heishan, hoping that the man beside him would be safe forever, and praying for his parents to enjoy their own stable lives.Li Xiaomo watched as Uncle Zhan closed his eyes tightly and muttered something, with a pious expression on his face.Li Xiaomo asked him what he wished, but Uncle Zhan smiled and didn't tell Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo made a request to Uncle Zhan: If Uncle Zhan's wish comes true, he must come here to fulfill his wish again, and he will be with him when the time comes.Uncle Zhan agreed.
The two left Beijing reluctantly. Uncle Zhan said that he had never taken the subway before, so Li Xiaomo took him to Beijing South Railway Station.While waiting for the subway, a bank card of Uncle Zhan accidentally slipped out of his bag.The two of them walked a long way, and when they heard someone shouting from behind, they turned their heads. A girl ran after her and returned the card to Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan and Li Xiaomo thanked each other repeatedly until the girl disappeared into the crowd. "The quality of Beijingers is really high." Uncle Zhan praised him sincerely.This also increased their nostalgia for Beijing.
At the South Railway Station, I took the intercity light rail from Beijing to Tianjin.Along the way, the poplar trees on both sides of the light rail are shaded, and the broad leaves are rolling and shining with silver light under the sun and wind.Looking up into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful North China Plain.Uncle Zhan, who was born as a farmer, was very envious of the vast expanse of flatness, hidden in the sky, and the fields are arranged like a chessboard. Large machines are working efficiently in the fields.This scene of beautiful scenery continues to retreat rapidly.
Tianjin is a city that does not have as many tourism resources as Beijing.They stayed in Tianjin for two days and visited the Italian Style Street, the Ancient Culture Street, the scenic spots on both sides of the Haihe River, and the foreign goods market in Tanggu.I tasted the famous Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, [-]th Street Mahua, Eryan Fried Cake, Bengdou Zhang and other special snacks. The overall feeling is not as amazing as in Beijing.But the world is unpredictable, and the happiest memory of this trip was finally left in a quaint small cross talk theater in Tianjin.
Uncle Zhan once recalled his life in the army. Every art performance, the climax was always created by two comrades from the north.The specialty of these two people is cross talk.The two didn't know each other before, but after joining the army, they can be regarded as confidants across the world. Because of their common hobby-cross talk, they finally became best friends.The two of them are on stage, talking, learning and singing are not professional, but the jokes are all local materials, from the daily life of soldiers, very down-to-earth, especially able to make everyone happy.At the beginning, Uncle Zhan didn't understand very well, but after listening to it more times, he gradually fell in love with this kind of northern folk art culture that is popular all over the country.At that time, the pastime of life was very scarce, such rare laughter also painted a bright color on Uncle Zhan's oppressive army life.In order to fulfill Uncle Zhan's wish, Li Xiaomo prepared to book the tickets for Beijing Deyun Club when he was at home, but Guo Degang was too hot, so he couldn't get in the line in the end.
This time when he came to Tianjin, Li Xiaomo still didn't want to give up, so he settled for the next best thing and bought two tickets for the famous crosstalk teahouse in Tianjin.This crosstalk theater is located in Tianjin's famous commercial street, but the price is very affordable.At the beginning, Li Xiaomo didn't have too much expectation, because the first person who said "Allegro" came up and shot a series of shots like a machine gun. Li Xiaomo didn't understand. Looking back at Uncle Zhan beside him, Uncle Zhan also looked at him. The face is blank.However, when the cross talk actors came on stage, the chemistry started to build.Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan were gradually surrounded by a joyful atmosphere under the influence of cross talk actors talking, learning, amusing, and singing.Looking back later, Li Xiaomo also felt puzzled, those jokes that come out of the mouths of cross talk actors, that is, what they call baggage, after careful reflection, he didn't think it was so clever.But in that specific environment, after a vivid performance, the appeal is greatly increased.The frequency of joy gradually increased.The shock of this kind of laughter is many times faster than watching TV. The cross talk in the small theater is down-to-earth and really charming.Li Xiaomo also discovered that there is a difference between cross talk in small theaters and cross talk on TV, that is, there are a lot of nasty jokes.These nasty jokes are not vulgar.Every time the dirty jokes sounded, Uncle Zhan would smile and look back at Li Xiaomo.Uncle Zhan was slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't match the "evil" expression of Sanya's temptation, because he thought Li Xiaomo didn't understand.In fact, Li Xiaomo really didn't understand a lot, but just looking at Uncle Zhan's funny expression, his stomach twitched from laughing.I have to admire that Tianjin people really enjoy life.Two tickets, two cups of tea, two chairs, one table, one pack of melon seeds, one plate of preserved fruit, all in one afternoon, the infinite joy that many people can’t exchange for gold and silver.Uncle Zhan seems to have returned to his previous years in the army, full of vigor, exuding a happy atmosphere from the inside out.
☆、25. This night, I fell asleep on your shoulder
This is the last night of the trip, and the two of them will return to Xiamen by plane tomorrow.
Uncle Zhan snored melodiously, but Li Xiaomo was lying on the single bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.In the past few days, being with Uncle Zhan is really very happy.This kind of happiness does not only come from the richness and splendor of travel itself, but also from the satisfaction of giving.As a man, Uncle Zhan's mental state is getting younger and younger under the continuous watering of the novel world.He follows Li Xiaomo's rhythm every day, eating, drinking, playing and having fun, there is no generation gap between the two of them.Li Xiaomo tried his best to enrich Uncle Zhan's rare long-distance trip, and the daily itinerary was fully arranged.During the play, the novel topics that the two could not finish talking about also became the blossoming embellishment of the journey.When they came back at night and took a shower, they would lie on the bed, and before they could say a few words, they would both fall asleep.But tonight, no matter how hard Li Xiaomo tried, he couldn't fall asleep.The more anxious, the more irritable.
Is it nostalgia for the good life these days?Along the way, he brought happiness to Uncle Zhan, and Uncle Zhan warmed him up.During the journey, what you should be most grateful for is not the beautiful scenery, but the person who accompanies you to enjoy the beautiful scenery.Uncle Zhan is humorous, tolerant, open-minded, energetic, and exudes a strong masculine breath all the time.What Li Xiaomo saw the most along the way was not the beautiful scenery, but the man beside him.In Li Xiaomo's impression, he became interested in men, especially middle-aged men, after entering university.But this feeling is very ignorant, so-called liking, or even what kind of person he likes, Li Xiaomo doesn't have a clear outline in his mind.This kind of liking is just like a breeze, whenever Li Xiaomo sees mature and temperamental middle-aged men in TV movies, on the street, or on the bus, it will gently blow through Li Xiaomo's heart.Li Xiaomo has no desire to possess, but in his dreams at night, he will gently let himself close, and gently touch those resolute faces with his hands.This kind of feeling buried in the heart, even if it was just a fantasy, brought Li Xiaomo a wonderful experience.He never denied it, because these fantasies did not hurt anyone.If a certain feeling of a person originates from your truest heart, you will think it is right, and sometimes you think it should be right in the eyes of others.
The appearance of Uncle Zhan is like the answer to an anagram game. All the answers are filled in the corresponding positions word by word, and the picture begins to be clear, although the result is unknown.Uncle Zhan has a magical attraction that attracts Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo is in this magnetic field, and gradually produces a kind of centripetal force, that is, he naturally wants to get closer, get closer, and get closer.Not only to see, but also to feel, feel his heartbeat, feel the temperature of his body, feel his emotions.At this moment, Li Xiaomo turned sideways and rested on his arm.Taking advantage of the faint light that sneaks in through the window
